Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Welcome to tonight's meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club. Tonight we are having a (slightly late) Halloween Party. Our resident mixologist has brewed a Tailcock especially for tonight's meeting "the Vampire Breath" guaranteed to pop the pennies from the eyes of the dead! Truly a potent brew!! Our Hot Plate Special is Halloween Hash, in addition we have a delicious selection of horses doovers, volley vonts and canopies, and owing to a plentiful harvest, we have Apple pie, Apple Brown Betty, Apple Crumble and Toffee Apples on the pudding trolley!! All of the apples are from our own orchards of course.
As a special treat, tonight we have once again engaged the services of the Crypt Kicker Five, direct from their tour of Transylvania and Croydon. Of course the Minstrels are again back in the gallery with their usual selection of madrigals and fugues. Igor has found some delicate chains to decorate his walking plaster and crutches (let's hope he does not fall over them..again!) The Towers ghost, Sir Cumference has promised to come and "haunt" our revelries, and Horace has agreed to leave his nice damp dungeon to come and join in the proceedings. Our local Coven has agreed to come and dance around a bonfire and the head of the coven, Madame Spellman will be holding a spelling bee in the conservatory (please note, to take care not to disturb the triffid or the upset the spider monkey, though visitors are permitted to help themselves to the bananas).
For those of you arriving by broom, we are delighted to announce that there will be a small party in the small saloon on the first floor of the west tower. Dooking for apples has been arranged as has an eating treacle scones competition. The hot tub and bungee are available for members and use of the indoor pool is also there for members, (cossies are provided)
For the rofl tonight:
one Halloween mask
bowl of Halloween candies (two left)
one witches cauldron (in need of scouring)
set of vampire fangs

One stone cross from the graveyard next door - minus one part of the transept - makes for a good coat hanger
One sheep's wool coffin
One book of the local vicar's sermons, guaranteed to bore the pants of any mother-in-law
Two candles extinguished
One flagon of South African crap wine marked Communion
One bird bath taken out of the church
One phew - the chair not that comfortable
6 cobwebs and 3 rats.
One can of baked beans

[tonyav]

Evening DT, I wouldn't mind winning that errrrrrm bird bath would it be ok for baptising the rats should I win those as well ?.

[tonyav]

Hi ya queenie, hows things ?.

[nungate]

Roller skates Igor? Oh I'm sure he'll be fine, he was county Roller Skating champion three years in a row.

[queenofmean]

Hiya Tony - I'm good thank you :) you?

[DTCwordfan]

guess so tone, the cross could be used to hang them out to dry, bit like the soaks from the pub put there by their Cornish brides.

[tonyav]

Yeah, I'm fine thanks, queenie.
Good idea that with the headless cross, DT.

[DTCwordfan]

are there counties north of 'Adrians heap of bricks.....?

[nungate]

But of course DT, we have counties. Some organisations seem to think of us north of the bricks as being simply one region, but we have lovely counties, and the odd shire or so

[DTCwordfan]

and a Kingdom......just as we down here have a Duchy, not a County.
